a Lesson ON vanity.

1--WE men may be shrewd disguisers Of
our little vanities, = said man who wore
the air Of philosopher, but the shrewd-
est Of them all fail to hide them entirely.
just sit here and watch the people, = he
continued, addressing party Of frienGs
who sat smoking in the fotunda Of large
hotel, land we shall see some betrayal Of
vanity from nearly every one who comes
along. See that old fellow glance at him
self IN the mirror Did you notice how
sly he was? Now watch that young fell
low. Pretends that his collar is out of
order, don't you seer It is one, Of mans
weaknesses, no matter how strong minded
he may seem, to look at himself. He
may haye the eye Of the severest critic
and may frown at the finest paintings,
but when be gazes ct his own features his
eye softens and an expression Of fondness
settles upon his face.
AS you are so observant Of this weak
ness dom suppose you ever fall into it, =
some one remarked.
II might have done so before my med
iirations on the littleness Of this life took
possessica e me, . he replied IF do
say 1t myself, lem more thoughtful than
most men. "a man engaged as am in
thinking for other peo2lc can take
but little interest ID his OWL appear
ance Well, gentlemen, must bid you
good evening"

was anxious to know something of
the process Of the work Of preparing the
biography Of Lincoln, appearing in the
current numbers OF .sThe Century, and
mentioned the curiosity frequently ex-
pressed by readers as TO the method Of
collaboration in writing this history.
THE curiosity = said Hay, ION the
part Of the public who are interested In
orr work is natural, but with us it is q
very simple affair.
"Col. Nicolay and 60 over precisely
the same matter, each reading what the
other reads to the last note and reference
When we have covered enough ground
for the making, say, Of half 3 dozen chap
ters, we meet and review the material
together and dec.le upon the method.
Then we agree upon the chapters to
be written separately BY each Of rs, and
when they are finished we exchange work,
each inspecting what the other has done
and making such suggestions Of change e.
occur. y
"This still leaves, said, ssthe fact
that the individual chapters are the liter
airy work Of separate authors, and the
possibility that the difference in styles
may be noticed in the finished book. =
Yes" said Hay; and this IS onr
private curiosity in turn, as to the percep-
ton Of the public.
but hardly think this diffefencs viii
be found to exist We have both aimed
to make the literary handling Of our sub
ject absolutely simple, the severest recita-
ton Of facts, and this lessons the divcrg-
ence in style to the minimum possibility;
though, Of course, it may occur beyond
our own detection. ~ Washington Cor.

U, S. Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 21.-At-
torney General Garland has informed the
Comptroller of the Currency that in COM
pliance with his request, he will on Mon,
day morning make a motion in the L. S.
Supreme Court, to have the case Of E. IL,

This case involves the responsibility o.

Either EdGertOn or Oberly VIII Have to
|. Leave the Civll-Seryice Commission.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. October 21.-The
controversy between Commissioners Ed
gertOn and Oberly has reached that point
where one or the other of them will be
compelled to leave the commission, and
the President will not be at home many
days before he will he compelled to take
action to stop what is rapidly degenerating
into q scandal. Both men are outsDoken
in theii denunciations of each other. The
affair is becoming personal, and each in
discussion soon drops into an argument of
the strength of his position with the
people. Commissioner EdgertOn said to-
day that three-fOurths of the Democratic
party accepted his views of the situation,
and that in Indiana and Ohio he believes
that he is supported by a far greater pro-
portion. He points to the repeal Of the
Tenure-of.0 Office act as an evidence that
Congress has determined to remove all
obstacles in the way of the Presidents
power of removal without reason. This
theory of removal should apply to the
subordinates of the President. EdgertOn
also holds that the purpose of the Civil
Service law law cannot be held as intend
ing to disfranchise an American citizen
and deprive him of liberty of thought and
speech when he enters the public service.

A Business-like Offer.

For many years the manufacturers of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy have offered,
in good faith, $500 reward for a case of
Nasal Catarrh which they cannot cure. The
remedy is sold by druggists at only so
cents. This wonderful remedy has fairly
attained worldwide reputation. If you
have dull, heavy headache, obstruction of
the nasal passages, discharges falling from
the head into the throat, sometimes pro-
fuse, watery, and acrid, at Others, thick,
tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and
putrid; if the eyes are weak, watery and
infamed; if there is ringing in the ears,
deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the
throat, expectoration Of offensive matter,
together with scabs from ulcers; the voice
being changed and has nasal twang;
the breath offensive; smell and taste i'm
paired; sensation of dizziness, with mental
depression, hacking cough and general
debility, you are suffering from nasal Ca
tarrah. The Imore complicated your dis
ease; the greater the number and diversity
Of symptoms. Thousands of cases annu-
ally, without manifesting half of the
above symptoms, result in consumption,
and end in the grave. No disease is so
common, more deceptive and dangerous,
or less understood, or more unsuccessfully
treated by physicians.

Mr.. Burgess, one of the proprietors OF
the International Pottery Co., says Of the
ex pertinent now being made with the pro-
fit sharing system: 1.-THE plan has been
in operation since the first of July, and
both ourselves and the employees are per-
feCtly satisfied with it. So far we cannot
say in dollars aud cents what advantages
it affords over the old system. but we do
know there is far less waste than there
used to be and the ware We are turning
out is superior to what was formerly made
here" Continuing, be said: THAT none
OF the men had been compelled to join the
cooperative organization. Those who do
not so desire, continue at their work and
receive their wages as formerly. Those
who have been willing to join, and they
constitute large majority, also receive
their pay, and in addition will be entitled
to share in the net receipts of the white
ware department at the close of the season.
By this time the experiment will have
been thoroughly tested and there will be
a better opportunity then of prOnouncing
on its success. -

An Engineers Report on an Extensively
Advertised Silver Mine.
New YORK, October 2l.-The TOrtilita
Silver Mine, of Arizona, has lately been
extensively advertised throughout the
East. Shares were placed at 81, and great
efforts have been made to interest working
men and farmers in the scheme.
Stock of the mine to the extent of $50,
600 was issued, and a considerable portion
of it has been placed with poor people.
The Herald some time ago sent mining
engineer out to inspect the property, and
his report is printed to-day. 1t states that
the persons living near the mines in Ari-
IONA regard them as OF little value. The
mines merely consist of prospect" holes
and barely pay the wages Of Is men. 1t
is shown that the mines have been fail
ure from the start; that they have paid no
dividends, and when yielding the largest
amount of ore they bankrupted their own
ers and were sold at a sheriff7s sale for
$4,000.

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Engineer Mccullough Must Answer for His
Brutal Crime.

Engineer Mccullough Must Answer for His
Brutal Crime.
CHICAGO, October 2l.-A special from
Galveston, Texas, says: VIM. r. McCul-
Tough, chief engineer of the steamship
Corral, who was arrested here yesterday,
charged with brutally numbering coal
handler, John T. Graham, while en- route
from New York, was brought before
United States Commissioner Spain to-day
for examination. The witnesses DOugherty
and Finn both testified that Mccullough
threw red hot Goals on Graham while he
was lying down, complaining of being sick
and overcome by the intense heat of the
fire Dougherty also swore he saw the
chief engineer strike Graham with an iron
bar He said Graham was naked
to the waist at the time and
he (witness) could smell the warm
flesh burning from the Goals heaped on his
hack by Mccullough. After heavy evil
dence the Commissioner held the prisoner
in the sum of s., 000 to appear at the No.
vember term of the United States Court
Capt. Sawyer, agent for the Mallory line,
and Geo. Sealy, large stakeholder in that
company, signed MCCuHough's bond. The
witnesses Were also held in 5000 bond.
Two witnesses were bailed out by the com
pany, and the other two remain in jail.
The probable reason why Mccullough
found bOndsmen so readily was because
the Corral was three days late and was
booked to sail this evening for New York
and it was necessary to secure the service
of Mccullough and the imprisoned coal
passers. The evidence ELECTED was of the
most damaging character.
